Road tuners,
What is the best measurement for an indication that you're making more power?
Delivered Engine Torque?
Gram per Cylinder?
Dynamic Air?
The reason I ask is because this morning, I had a rich pull, (12.0 ? 12.3 AFR), and the numbers were significantly higher than with a leaner pull (12.7-12.8). Same day, same temps. Richer AFR's seem to give higher DET's. But I feel as if the leaner pulls are faster? I know the DET numbers are based on certain calculations (MAF, VE), but I'm confused.
Shouldn't these number only be higher when you are making more power?
DynAir and ClyAir is higher too?..with richer AFR's.
When you command richer AFR's do DET's increase? This seems to be the case, because leaner, they decrease.
This is on a N/A vette.
I?m wondering if making and Acceleration Rate math will work since it won't take MAF, VE, Timing into consideration.
